"F*ck my life!" Alphonso's loud scream echoed throughout the sewers as he dashed towards the pile of sand, running right behind Gerald and Harold.

Screeee!

The vine monsters screeched at the three boys who were rushing forward in their direction, but didn't attack them.

Whoosh!

Within seconds, the three boys had leapt over the large pile of sand that contained the partially covered human body, landing right next to Max.

BAM!

"Ouch!" Harold yelled out loudly as he raised his head from the ground, rubbing his back as he crouched down next to Max. "That hurt like hell! Why on earth did I jump with such power?"

"Probably shouldn't have done that!" Max replied in a hushed tone. 

"Probably not…" Harold nodded as he turned his gaze towards the other two, Gerald and Alphonso. Gerald had closed his eyes and was breathing in and out, while Alphonso was lying on the ground, gasping for air.
